I never once considered an excursion before seeing you start to build this up back when you did. If only my recent college-grad self had the cash to buy this today. I truly cant think of a better (or simpler) setup. Being able to live indoors, stay low profile in urban areas both domestically and abroad, without emissions equipment requiring ultra-low sulfur diesel, and no pickup camper making you stick out like a sore thumb sounds good to me. I'm looking forward to see what is to come for you. GLWS

Update, I've decided to keep Smokey! After looking at many different replacement options, and driving the Excursion down a few more backroads, I’ve realized that I just can’t let it go. Over the past few years it has done everything I wanted it to and more, exceeding all of my expectations and showcasing what this platform is capable of. It has become my home, and as ridiculous as this might sound, it feels like a friend. So while it probably makes more sense to let it go, I think Smokey is here to stay.
For all of the kind words and generous offers over the past week I can only say thank you so very much! It’s awesome to see all of these great people in the community, and so many fans of this build. I hope you’ll stick around for future adventures, and enjoy all the changes I have in store.

Smart move, now that I have sold my old blue suburban and moved to a Taco and camper I really wonder if I would not have been better off spending even $10k to make my burb a pop top and have gotten the stand up room that I really wanted.
Glad to hear we will be able to continue to follow your adventures in Smokey
